Southern California Winters: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
I'm Moving to LA

Living in Southern California, we typically only experience two seasons: hot and mildly cold. But since we're so acclimated to our perfect 75-degree temperature, the winter months which are only mildly cold can make it seem like the end of the world.

Here are some of the worst things about the California winter.

1. It can be freezing in the morning, but once the sun comes out it's kind of hot.


You leave your house bundled up for the brisk 60-degree morning, but by 12 p.m. the sun comes out and you're sweating.

2. Having to drive when it rains.


So it's raining, but that means people forget to drive, right?

3. Everyone from anywhere besides California telling you "You don't know what cold is!"


We get it! It's not as bad here as it is where you live, but if we can't complain about it being too hot, we have to complain about it being too cold.

5. Can't wear Rainbow flip flops every day.


My Rainbow sandals are my best friends, and once it gets cold I have to wear close-toed shoes *cries*.

6. Having to break out the "winter clothes".


Most of our wardrobes consist of beach-friendly heat-wave friendly attire, so having to wear winter clothes is kind of a big deal to us.

7. Getting used to wearing winter clothes, then complaining when it starts to heat up again because damnit, we just got used to this!


8. In the end though, you love living in California, and probably wouldn't be able to handle the winter anywhere else so you'll just stay here.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
